The invention relates to the field of weapons, in particular to means for wearing or carrying ammunition (magazines with cartridges or empty magazines) for small arms such as pistols, rifles, automatic rifles, automatic weapon, light machine guns, etc., and can be used to design pouches formed open-faced to dispose magazines for cartridges.
There is known a pouch comprising top parts including front and rear walls, botan, and folds, and a zipper, while the top parts are made of a waterproof textile material and have rectangular shapes. On the perimeters, they are stitched with ribbons for hanging various modules or items. The zipper is located along the front rectangular wall [UA No. 125148 U, A4SC 3/08, A4SC 9/00, 2018].
This design of the pouch cannot be used as an open-faced pouch to dispose a magazine for cartridges, and the product does not provide improving the strength, safety, reliability and good maintenance of the magazine with cartridges in the pouch. Such a pouch is laborious due to the need to manufacture and connect lots of separate parts.
It is known a pouch designed for carrying grenades disposed therein and for removing those therefrom by a person with his one hand. The pouch comprises a hollow container provided with a hinged valve, the container including a metal base to upkeep maintaining grenades, and also a connecting wire with its one end being attached to the metal base, and with its other end being attached to a transporting pin configured to be located into a grenade instead of a tab, The metal base is made in the form of a single piece, which is cut from a flat metal sheet and formed to have side walls provided with bends in the upper portion thereof to upkeep maintaining a grenade spherical surface. The metal base also has its upper and lower protrusions adapted to provide fitting a grenade without backlash, and also with reliably fastening thereof, as well as a down stop to provide for the grenade base retention. [RU No. 188 151 U1, F41C 33/06, 2019].
However, such a design of the pouch includes a fairly large number of metal parts having rather heavy weight, which fact reduces the amount of payload carried. In addition, the specified pouch is laborious to manufacture due to the need to execute and connect lots of individual parts.
There is known a pouch formed open-faced to dispose a magazine for cartridges, which comprises component parts made of waterproof material and connected to each other, namely: a front wall, a rear wall, two side walls, and a bottom, which form the open-faced pouch common housing, while on the outer side of the front wall, there are arranged the fixed horizontal belts to form the front spatial slots (cells, cells of the MOLLE system type) between the outer side of the front wall and the horizontal belts, and on the outer side of the rear wall, there are also located the fixed horizontal belts to form the rear spatial slots (cells, cells of the type MOLLE systems) between the outer side of the rear wall and the horizontal belts, while in the upper portion of the rear wall of the housing, there is attached at least one vertical belt, which is fastened to the upper portion of the rear wall with the use of the horizontal belts and the rear spatial slots (cells, cells of the MOLLE system type). All-around the housing, there is a round elastic rubber band made with the possibility of tightening/stretching. The above said band is inserted and pulled through the front and rear spatial slots (cells, cells of the MOLLE system) in such a way that the round elastic rubber band tightens the front wall, the rear wall and the two side wails together. Each of the above two side walls is formed as a separate side panel, and each of the above two separate side panels has corresponding openings for pulling the round elastic rubber band there through, and the above said round elastic rubber band is inserted and pulled through the corresponding openings of each of the two separate side panels so that it evenly tightens the front wall, the rear wall, and the two side walls, which are made in the form of two separate side panels, together [UA No. 135455 U, F410 33/00, F410 33/06, 2019].
The specified pouch is a labour-intensive product because of the need to manufacture and connect a lot of individual parts, and it is also quite heavy, which reduces the amount of payload carried.
The closest technical solution to the claimed invention is a pouch for carrying firearm magazines, which is made in the form of a device for the secure stowing of a magazine, comprising:
a housing bounded by:
a first pair of opposing side walls having substantially the same height;
a second pair of opposing side walls, wherein the second pair of opposing side wails is of substantially the same height, the first pair of opposing side walls being in substantially perpendicular plane to the second pair of opposing side walls, and the first pair of opposing side walls being shorter in height than the second pair of opposing side walls:
bottom wall (bottom) and top opening;
biasing means whereby at least one pair of opposing side wails are biased toward one another
means of attachment whereby the housing may be attached to a person or object.
[U.S. Pat. No. 9,759,536, IPC: F42B 39/00, F428 39/02, B650 25/04, B650 25/20, B650 63/10, 07.012016].
The indicated pouch, like the previous analogs, is laborious to manufacture due to the need to produce and connect lots of individual parts, and it is also quite heavy, which reduces the amount of payload carried.
The invention is based on the technical problem of improving the pouch for carrying firearm magazines to reduce the labor intensity of its manufacture and decrease the weight in order to be able to carry a larger amount of payload.
The problem is solved by the fact that in a pouch for carrying firearm magazines comprising longitudinal and transverse walls and a bottom made of a waterproof material and configured to form the open-faced pouch housing, and also elements for attaching the housing to ammunition, with those elements including at least one band fixed in the holes openings) of the housing and ammunition, according to the invention, at least one of the longitudinal wags, the transverse walls and the bottom of the housing are formed solid-drawn from a single piece of material, while the elements for attaching the above said firearm magazines pouch housing to the ammunition and also the elements for fastening such a product as a pistol magazine pouch housing on the above said firearm magazines pouch housing are made with the possibility of being partially arranged in the inner cavity of the above sad firearm magazines pouch housing or the above said product as a pistol magazine pouch housing.
Polymeric materials can be used as the housing materials.
The front longitudinal wail can be provided with an elastic pad and fastened to the transverse walls.
The front longitudinal wall can be made of elastic band and fastened to the transverse wails,
An attachment of a transverse wall and a front longitudinal wall of the pouch housing can be made seamed.
An attachment of a transverse wall and a front longitudinal wall of the pouch housing can be made laced, and the openings for lacing and the openings for the attachment system can be made cut into the material, or cast, or sewn on.
The pouch front longitudinal wall can be provided with additional openings for attaching the pistol magazine pouch thereon.
On the pouch front longitudinal wall, there can be fixed an additional pad made of plastic or fabric for attaching the pistol magazine pouch thereto.
The elements for attaching the pouch housing to the ammunition and the attachment for the pistol magazine pouch housing on the above said pouch housing are made with the possibility of being partially arranged in the inner cavity of the above said pouch housing or the above said pistol magazine, pouch housing.
The fact that at least one of the longitudinal wads, the transverse walls and the bottom of the pouch housing are formed solid-drawn from a single piece of plastic with openings contributes to the achievement of a small weight for the specified class of products, namely, −2.5 times lower than for the prototype, which allows the user to carry more payload, and not the packaging itself, In particular, the automatic weapon pouch weighs 34 g, and the weight of the pistol pouch is 18 g.
There has been significantly simplified the process of the product manufacture. Since most of work is performed by automatic stamping of the housing portion of the design structure, the number of sewing operations has been substantially reduced.
The fact that the product attaching and fastening system, the elements of which are made with the possibility of being partially arranged in the inner cavity of a pouch housing credits the system with the feature of not only fastening, but also providing a non-slip layer for more reliable fixation.
The invention is illustrated by the following figures.
